Good analysis. Yes, quite Hawk-like indeed...and yes they grumble too (see you later Brian) but still go to the bowls to watch the Defense, Special Teams, waterboys, and whatever offense that might accidentally unfold at a neutral field. It is the I-O-W-A way under Ferentz.
I hear him with JG on the KFAN Gophers Weekly on Sunday mornings after a game. I can see how he might come across as smug but running GI...off which GH spun originally...gives a little credibility to do so.
We've improved our best as fans.
Yeah...unless its a weird situation (maybe half the team is hurt or we are playing a National Title team) we are beyond most moral victories.
Who here is saying people cant be upset about Iowa? I would guess most of us are...
They improved (and had 2 star players) so it looked better than it was. But like most of us said once his kid was gone the team became Colorado again only with a mediocre coach and motivator.
I think PJ is a great head coach when it comes to recruiting, developing, etc., but his in game decisions and inability to level up as a play caller and with in game decisions is what keeps us from ascending. We got out-coached against Purdue and MSU but luckily have better players who were able to put it together.
Not that long ago Gopher Fans were literally begging for stuff like this. (Not the Iowa Loss obviously)
So Iowa is reveling in their mediocrity?
You appear “revel in your love” of your own personal mediocrity. Please explain to other GHers how it works. Daily routine, etc. As much info as possible. Thanks!
Or, alternate suggestion, he could just go back to posting on the message board of whatever team he actually follows.
It’s crazy how the teams with wins usually have beaten the teams with losses
If PJ would have won 7 games in 2020 and 10+ games in 2021 he’d have been gone…IMO
